Why is the Code of Hammurabi so important in todays society?

"Known today as the Code of Hammurabi, the 282 laws are one of the earliest and more complete written legal codes from ancient times. The codes have served as a model for establishing justice in other cultures ... "

"The laws in the Code of Hammurabi established stability, allowing the ancient Babylon Empire to flourish. It allowed all of Babylon’s citizens to read the laws that governed their lives, and the laws could not be manipulated by a ruler to suit his or her own goals."

"Like the laws of today, Hammurabi’s Code lays out specific punishments for specific crimes. The modern legal code does not differentiate between social class. Like today’s legal system, Hammurabi’s Code lays out the way that trials are conducted. It spells out the requirement for witnesses and impartial judges."
